FBI agents have contacted as many as 30 Milwaukee Police officers to schedule interviews related to an investigation into the 2020 presidential election, the Heartland Post has learned exclusively.
The officers are not the targets of the investigation but rather possible witnesses to potential criminal behavior by election officials. Multiple sources said FBI agents want to know whether police officers assigned to Milwaukee’s Central Count facility at the Baird Center were told to leave rooms or not enter areas where suspicious activity was taking place.
Those sources Heartland Post that many of the interviews are centered on an incident in which former Milwaukee Election Commission Director Claire Woodall-Vogg had a police escort to deliver a flash drive containing the city’s tabulation of absentee ballots to be entered at the Milwaukee County Election Commission late on Election Night but then realized she had forgotten the drive at Central Count.
Woodall-Vogg said at the time that she called a Milwaukee Election Commission employee, who found the flash drive in a tabulator and handed it to a police officer to be transported to the Milwaukee County Election Commission. That officer is believed to have been contacted for an FBI interview, as have others in Woodall-Vogg’s police escort.
The subject of other scheduled FBI interviews is whether officers who provided security at Central Count were told to leave a docking area when a truck containing absentee ballots arrived at about 12:30 am on Election Night.
According to a sworn affidavit from Milwaukee County Election Commission employee David J. Bolter, “at around 1230am on 4NOV2020, it was “announced that a huge truckload of ballots were going to be delivered shortly.”
“Workers were urged to stay on for them to be counted,” he said. “I cannot attest to whether that was part of standard delivery procedures from external polling locations, but it seemed odd.”
In her own sworn affidavit, Woodall-Vogg flatly denied this allegation, saying the last delivery of ballots to Central Count was made at about 8:00 pm and no announcement of a truckload coming in at 12:30 was ever made.
The FBI began contacting election officials for interviews regarding the handling of the 2020 election last week, when an agent visited the home of Milwaukee County Election Commission Director Michelle Hawley and left a business card with instructions to contact him for an interview.
The FBI declined to comment after Milwaukee County Clerk George Christensen made the visit public. County Executive David Crowley and Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson blasted the move as an “act of intimidation.”
“The fact that we continue to relitigate the 2020 election, quite frankly, is mind blowing for me,” Crowley said.
The investigation in Milwaukee appears to be part of a broader nationwide probe into longstanding allegations of irregularities in the 2020 presidential election. A month ago, FBI Director Kash Patel told FOX News’ Maria Bartiromo that the Bureau had obtained “information” that supports President Trump’s claims that the election was stolen from him and that arrests were possible.
“I can announce on your show that we’ve got all the information we need,” he told Bartiromo. “We’re working with our prosecutors at Department of Justice under Attorney General Todd Blanche and we are going to be making arrests. And it’s coming. And I promise you, it’s coming soon.”
